Alpha would take kindly!

I half knew about a [redacted], but I thought they'd be sending them all to replace those horrible B7s. Maybe they will!
I always thought they'd look good in black.

The content of the changes around stanley hasn't exactly been kept secret. Some magazine came out and it's everywhere - even has been passed onto random questioning passengers, although the vosa regs gave a large amount of it away. I like speculation, as everyone should know. In NEB spirit, lets do what enthusiasts do best and speculate some more [SMILING FACE WITH OPEN MOUTH AND SMILING EYES]


...on a seperate note, is 5249 fitted with one of those spooky big brother machines, as opposed to just standard CCTV? It looks like 6122s CCTV but has a glowing green light.

(05 Apr 2017, 4:52 am)Dan wrote Fitted with a DriveCam - which is sort of like a telematics system combined with CCTV. In the event of harsh acceleration/braking etc, the CCTV of the road in front and the driver's cab will automatically be downloaded and sent to the Depot Manager to view, within minutes of it happening.

The trial is ongoing at Washington, so 5248/49 will need to donate these cameras to 5337/38.

(05 Apr 2017, 1:42 pm)S813 FVK wrote It may have been taken off for scholars as that time is approaching (unless blinded up for X70 in the next few minutes of course).

(05 Apr 2017, 1:46 pm)Jimmi wrote Was blinded up for X70 to Newcastle just before it got into the bus station, it's currently parked against the wall. Can't give anymore info as I'm leaving on the 15A to Durham now.

(05 Apr 2017, 1:54 pm)GX03 wrote Sure the 14.57 is done by the bus coming in then going back out again without the break.

(05 Apr 2017, 1:59 pm)S813 FVK wrote Try this then:

(earlier journeys)
• 14:57 X70 from Consett Bus Station to Newcastle Eldon Sqaure (arr 15:56)
• 16:10 6 from Newcastle Eldon Square to Stanley Bus Station (arr 17:38)
• 18:03 6 from Stanley Bus Station to Newcastle Eldon Square (arr 19:18)
• 19:25 6 from Newcastle Eldon Square to Stanley Bus Station (arr 20:37)

(05 Apr 2017, 2:13 pm)Jimmi wrote You probably will, not even in Durham yet and goodness knows how long it will take for a 7 to appear to take me home

Bad enough that due to delays, I had to give up on my scenic shot and get one in Consett and also as a consequence of that I'm already half an hour behind time.

(05 Apr 2017, 4:54 pm)Michael wrote They do, wonder how many are going black?

(05 Apr 2017, 4:55 pm)Jamie M wrote I'd say not any which are corp. It makes me think some were deliberately not branded red/blue. Saving paint, makes a change!

(05 Apr 2017, 5:03 pm)Michael wrote There's currently 7 in the plain red livery include the one already done, that's 8.

So going by that, the allocation for Toonlink would be 8 Omnidekka's and 11 Omnicities. do you which services will be under the brand?, i would imagine it'll be the 6/X30/X31/X70/X71? 

Not sure on what the PVR's is for those routes above, but with changes coming up anything can happen...


Speculation, not confirmed.
